Spiritual Energy Is Corrupted: I Forge an Immortal Path with Turbid Qi

Lin Jin was the most lowly scavenger boy in the apocalypse. He once fought a death match with a rotten-claw rat over half a tuber mottled with gray, and watched a companion dissolve into pus under the effects of tainted qi. He should have vanished like an ant. Then, on the brink of death, he discovered by chance that the deadly tainted qi was actually the fuel for his cultivation!

From accidentally inhaling tainted qi to stay alive to mastering the “Power of Filth”; from being hunted as a “freak” to entering the decaying Qinglan Sect; from struggling to survive the sect’s infighting to uncovering the secrets of the “Source of Tainted Qi”: every step Lin Jin takes overturns the ironclad rules of “cultivating immortality through spiritual energy.” As cultivators across the land succumb and the world is devoured by corruption, he chooses taint as his blade and filth as his shield, forging a path to immortality all his own beneath a polluted sky.
